    Default exide batteries

    are they any good? travelled the whole town, and cant find a decent battery with enough cca! found one, and its exide. 550cca, the battery is a sealed unit with the stickers that cover the caps. if i buy it, how am i supposed to check the water levels? also anyone know if it will last?

    cheers,

    Check the warranty period. Used them in the past with no dramas. How much are they charging you for it?
    If it's a sealed battery checking the water isn't necessary.

    Can't argue with that. That's a real good warranty. I would do it.

    I only use exide, due to having a contact with them. never paid more than $50 for one though. Can highly reccomend them
